Missouri is not only known for its various nicknames or affluent rivers but also its dozens of mystical places shadowed by their past. Many of Missouri’s abandoned places are part of the legendary Route 66, a historic highway with exciting stories and ghostly landmarks. The state is also known as the “Cave State” due to its 7,300 recorded caves. There are over 45 ghost towns in Missouri. It became the 24th State of North America on August 10, 1821, when President James Monroe signed a proclamation for the admission of Missouri into the union.
